Join the Essex Heritage Explorers program! Discover the China trade behind the walls of the Ipswich Historical Society’s Heard House Museum. The musuem's collections reflect a unique time in our nation's history when the United States was pursuing relationships with nations of Asia to establish independence in politics and trade. The resulting connections and excursions to the Far East, brought home exquisite examples of art and china from around the world.

In this special evening, Explorers will also get acquainted with the work of artist and Ipswich native, Arthur Wesley Dow. Experience how Asian influence penetrates the artistic sensibilities of this artist whose timeless contributions to the teaching and understanding of art continue to influence artists today, most notably through his book Composition, first published in 1899. The Dow collection of the Ipswich Historical Society is an important piece of American art history. Dow’s work reflects distinctively American landscapes and places using traditional Japanese printing techniques.
